(1/8) PSE Summer School 2021: discover the “Industrial Organization - Applied platform economics” program

The Paris School of Economics Summer School offers research-oriented teaching by leading experts in their fields. Since 2016, it has brought together in Paris over 630 participants, representing 68 nationalities, from all over the world. This year, 8 programs are offered, on various subjects. Entirely in English, they are aimed at professionals, researchers, and graduate students (Masters and PhD) notably in Economics, in Social Sciences and in Finance.

The “Industrial Organization - Applied platform economics” program introduces participants to the key concepts at the frontier of applied platform economics. It covers two-sided markets, where two groups interact through an intermediary, or platforms, that captures the value of externalities between the groups. Two-sided markets and networks can be found in many industries, including search engines or communication networks such as the media and the internet. We will focus on these industries, and propose a discussion on important issues that are currently debated in the economic literature and policy circles: Platforms and Data, Media Platforms and Advertising, Social Media Platforms, and Search and Platform Design.
